The College of the Siskiyous women's basketball team went 1-1 at home on Friday and Saturday.

Friday night, the Lady Eagles had little problem with Porterville and came away with a convincing 92-51 victory.

On Saturday, COS faced the Fresno City Rams, who were ranked as the top team in Northern California and No. 4 in the state heading into the game. The Eagles were ranked No. 4 overall in Northern California and No.11 in the state. The Rams used a deep bench to its advantage and shot lights outs, including making 14 three-pointers to hand the Eagles a 75-53 loss. COS fell to 12-3 while the Rams improved to 15-3.

COS came out fired up and took a quick 9-0 advantage to start the contest. The Rams mounted a comeback thanks to a suffocating defense that COS had trouble with. With the Eagles up 14-7, the Rams quickly tied things up at 14 with 12:20 left in the half.

"We got off to a great start," COS head coach Tom Powers said, "but they came back and we couldn't keep up." While COS battled, Fresno started to wear down the Eagles. It did not help that COS had eight players suited up compared to12 for Fresno. Powers added that starters Shyanna Ashworth and Carrie Waston were still recovering from injuries. By the end of the half Fresno had a 40-32 advantage.

To start the second half, COS quickly cut the lead to 40-35 and it looked like the Eagles would mount a comeback. But Fresno started to get hot from three-point range and quickly jumped out to a 56-39 advantage around halfway through the second half as the Rams ended up downing the Eagles by 22 points. Anna Cameron led Eagle scorers with 24 while Ashworth had 12 points and Hailey Wales had 10 points.

Fresno had eight players score six or more points. Madison Parish led Ram scorers with 18 points, including four three-pointers.

"They're pretty balanced," Powers said. "That's what makes them very tough to beat"

Against Porterville, COS took a 48-26 lead at the half and did not let up in the second half to earn the 42-point victory. Cameron had another strong game and finished with 31 points. Watson finished with 16 points and Brianne Burnside and Wales each had 12 points apiece.

"We just came out and shot very well," Powers said. "We overwhelmed them."

COS, the defending champs, open Golden Valley Conference play on Saturday on the road versus Lassen.
